Please help

I hope this message finds you well. Many of you are already aware of the situation that i am currently going through, but today the same thing happened to my sister. This has made it painfully clear that we can no longer stay where we are.

We need your help to make a fresh start. This is a genuine, urgent cry for support. Every bit of assistance whether through donations or by purchasing my services (tarot readings, spells, subliminals, etc.) can make a world of difference for us during this critical time.

If you’ve ever considered supporting me, now is the moment. Your kindness could help us find safety and stability. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading this and for any help you’re able to provide.

If you are doubtful , you can DM me for details.

stan is the only member of the pines twins^2 to never make a deal with bill and i think he needs more credit for that.

ford makes, just, so many deals with his demon boyfriend

dipper literally trades his body to bill in sock opera

and while i will die on the hill that it was never her fault, mabel is tricked into making a deal with him for weirdmagenon.

but stan never gets tricked. the only time he comes close was when he was pretending to be ford but that was with the sole purpose of getting bill erased. never does bill get to him or twist his thoughts. for being the "dumb one" he's surprisingly rational in this was.

nobody matches bill intellectually, ford's fatal flaw is that he thought he did, and the pines family wins because they have an emotional core that bill never had (the power of sibling bonding saves the day and i love it) but ill go out on a limb and say that out of everyone, stan is the only one to match bill's street smarts.

bill's a master manipulator but stan is a professional con-artist with no respect for the law, you tell me who's coming out on top.

stan successfully faked his own death, ran a business for 30 years, taught himself some sort of advanced engineering to repair the portal, evaded local, federal and international authorities from the age of 18, and did it all without any support.

and going back to when he pretends to be ford to get bill to enter his mind, that scene makes stan the only character to ever outwit bill.

anyways this has been a stan pines appreciation post, thank you and goodnight

i don't know how many ways i can beg people to please please check the fucking exchange rate before making a donation---when you don't check and you make teeny tiny donations in weaker currencies, that costs the person on the other end because their campaigns get less support. do you know it takes so much longer to fundraise in weaker currencies that i have seen some palestinians prematurely close out campaigns in currencies such as SEK and try to open new ones, from scratch, in higher currencies like USD and EUR?

this is yet another stupid bureaucratic way that US hegemony and the dominance of the US dollar end up costing people their lives, and you can prevent it by simply taking 5 seconds yourself to google and figure out how much 5 or 10 USD is worth in the currency you're donating in. even campaigns that state the exchange rate in their gofundme, even Mohammed's campaign where i constantly state the exchange rate in my posts, some of you simply cannot be bothered to do basic math and instead you donate piddling little amounts that are way less than what you give to other campaigns.

i don't know what else to even say at this point except that he, and his 27-person family, need that 5 USD or 10 USD---approximately 52 krona or 125 krona, if you still cannot be bothered to look it up---he needs the same donation amounts you consider reasonable in higher currencies, his need is not any less just because he is fundraising in SEK!

*jigsaw voice* radfems you are the worst thing to happen to feminism. On the table before you is a pile of books on intersectional feminism. Pick one and begin reading. You don’t even need to form opinions on it yet, just read and think about it. If you don’t, the bear trap will go off and the anvil will drop on you and the grenades will explode and you will die forever. The choice is yours.

Book, another book, about books

book list, hey a booklist, more books, poems

about poems, book list, about a book-writer

an essay, more books, take a guess

Feminist Non-Fiction Recs

Because feminism isn't only about your own voice and your own rights, but about the liberation of all women, it's important to uplift the voices of women who are rarely heard. To honour this international day of Women's Rights, here are some recommendations for non-fiction feminist theory books centered on women of colour.

Please note that this is a non-exhaustive list, and that some very important works might not figure on it. Take it as inspiration, not as a binding list of works to have read, and remember that this is only the surface of women of colour's writings on feminism.

all of bell hooks' books, but I would recommend "Ain't I a Woman: Black Women and Feminism" to start with intersectional feminism

There Is No Hierarchy of Oppression; by Audre Lorde

Sister Outsider; by Audre Lorde (all of Audre Lorde, actually)

Hood Feminism; by Mikki Kendall

White Tears, Brown Scars; by Ruby Hamad

Mediocre; Ijeoma Oluo

We Should All Be Feminists; by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

This Bridge Called My Back; an anthology edited by Cherríe Moraga and Gloria E. Anzaldúa

Bad Feminist; by Roxane Gay

I Am Malala; by Malala Yousafzai

Black Feminist Thought: Knowledge, Consciousness, and the Politics of Empowerment; by Patricia Hill Collins

Arab & Arab American Feminisms: Gender, Violence, & Belonging; an anthology edited by Rabab Abduhaldi, Evelyn Alsultany and Nadine Naber

Making Space for Indigenous Feminism; an anthology edited by Joyce Green

Beyond Veiled Clichés: The Real Lives of Arab Women; by Amal Awad

The Trouble with White Women: A Counterhistory of Feminism; by Kyla Schuller

A Decolonial Feminism; Françoise Vergès

Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower; by Brittney Cooper

Women, Race, & Class; by Angela Y. Davis

These books really only scrape the surface of an intersectional approach of feminism focused on race, and if you want to discover more works, I would recommend looking at intersectional feminism and decolonial feminism. Also, if you're not a native English speaker or if you speak fluently multiple languages, I recommend looking for feminist books originally written in other languages that may not have been translated to English, as they offer a perspective that is not so American-centered, which I feel is the case in too much of today's feminism.
